DEI: ‘Don’t Let the Door Hit You on Your Way Out’

Posted By: leeduigon(patty)Posted On:

US companies, universities scaled back on DEI in 2024 ...

Those days are over, kimosabe!

Following the lead of President Donald Trump–go ahead, tell me the last time SloJo Biden led anyone anywhere–19 state attorneys general warned Costco to drop their DEI (“Diversity, Equity, Inclusion”) policies (https://www.foxnews.com/politics/state-ags-warn-retail-giant-costco-doubling-down-discriminatory-dei). Drop ’em, or lawsuits will make you drop ’em.

“Racial discrimination is both immoral and illegal,” said Kansas Attorney General Kris Kobach.

So how come companies had been practicing it non-stop for the past four years?

Uh… Because the Far Left kooks who ran the Biden disaster regime said they’d better discriminate if they didn’t want Government bending their fingers the wrong way. Being afraid of a powerful and unscrupulous government to whom the Constitution meant absolutely nothing, most of them fell obediently into line.

Now they can stop. President Trump is rescuing the country from the scourge of DEI.

 

‘Waking the Giant’ (2021)

There seems to be abundant evidence that most of the American people don’t like Woke: in fact, they hate it. (Don’t believe me? Check out CNN’s ratings.)

But I think we’re running out of time to slay this dragon.

Yes, there’s a lot of discontent out there. Everything they touch, Democrats ruin. This year’s national elections are very likely our last chance to rescue America.

Look at all the B.S. that was cheesing us off in 2021! We weren’t able to bring it home in 2022–so baby, we’d better do it now. Eventually you run out of chances and you’ve got the Soviet Union for the next 70 years.

And you know they’re going to cheat to win, they’re going to cheat like crazy–and they’re already doing it–so be prepared to vote accordingly. Don’t stay home this time!

Anyone who thinks we can take four more years of Biden and his playmates is off-the-charts crazy.

 

‘All Hands on Deck! This Is Not a Drill’

General Quarters, Battle Stations

It’s time we took our battle stations

I don’t know how many chances we’ll get, after this year’s elections, to straighten out our country. Maybe none. Maybe this is the last chance. We simply don’t know. But God help us if this really is our last chance, and we blow it.

We know the Democrats will cheat. Probably they’re already working on it. Certainly they want to jail our candidate, Donald Trump. Will they treat us to another pandemic–lockdowns, vote by mail, etc.? Will they engineer a refusal to certify the election, if Trump wins? Or how about another war? Or just hand the vote to border-jumpers. Do we wind up losing no matter how many votes we get?

And then there’s the rest of the world–wars breaking out all over the place, the U.N. dremmeling over phony Climbit Change, Far Left “leaders” pushing euthanasia as a cure-all (“Sick? Sorry? Scared? Try being dead!”), World Economic Forum gobbling up our liberties… It’s everywhere you look, isn’t it?

We who are not Far Left crazies, isn’t Now the best time to set aside our differences and throw everything we’ve got into getting out from under predatory “governments” who want to devour us? Maybe it’s gone too far, to get out from under. But we must at least try to secure our liberties!

I don’t post evil nooze reports for my health. I hope they will prove to everyone who reads them that there is indeed cause for alarm–that for once the quarrels within our ranks must be set aside for later. We all have individual resources that must be mobilized in a common cause. And most of us have the right to vote… which we must do in numbers never seen before.

We’re all in this together. If the ship goes down this time, it’ll take us all with it.

Utah U.: No More DEI

How to Make a Paper Doll Chain | LoveToKnow

“Diversity” in action!

“DEI” must die; and the University of Utah has taken the lead here by ending the use of DEI statements (“Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion”) “in application or hiring process” (https://www.insidehighered.com/news/quick-takes/2024/01/08/university-utah-end-diversity-statements-new-hires#:~:text=The%20University%20of%20Utah%20will,involved%20in%20hiring%20new%20employees.).

The governor of Utah called for an end to these statements, which he described as “bordering on evil”–setting a political position as a requirement for employment–and the Utah Board of Higher Education issued directives “to eliminate diversity questions or statements”. The university president handed down the directives to the staff and so there, we hope, is an end to it.

Stop the presses: for once a university has done something right. We all know by now, I sincerely hope, that “diversity” only means a coerced uniformity of speech and thought. That catchy little slogan, “Liberty, Equality, Fraternity,” kept the guillotine busy in France, once upon a time. Anyone who thinks that could never happen here is an optimist.

One down, a couple hundred to go…

But remember this: All this crazy toxic Woke ideology we are burdened with today started out with numerically insignificant fringe groups who never gave up until they had their jackboots on our necks.

New Hampshire Bans Sex-Change Surgery for Minors

New Hampshire has joined a passel of other states in banning sex-change surgery for minors (https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2024/01/new-hampshire-house-passes-bill-banning-sex-changes/).

This abomination is known by various slimy euphemisms, including “gender-affirming care” and “adolescent genital gender reassignment.” It is also known, say some of the legislators who voted for the ban, for “a degree of coercion” applied against parents by zealous “doctors” who get rich performing the operations.

The house also barred doctors from referring prospective “patients” to out-of-state facilities.  The state senate is also expected to pass the bill.

Here are the states that have already passed similar legislation: Georgia, Tennessee, Arkansas, Florida, Idaho, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, North Carolina, North Dakota, Oklahoma, South Dakota, Texas, Utah, West Virginia, Arizona, and Alabama. That’s 22 states, folks… surely with more to come.

Transgender mania has swept the Western world. And now it’s time for pushback.

Donald Trump: Presidency, Family, Education

Payback Time is coming!

Why are Democrats so jumpy lately? Haven’t they already shown they can rig any election in their favor? Don’t tell me they’re losing faith in mail-in voting!

A Scent of Pushback in the Air

Have they begun to sense our anger? Usually they just laugh it off: “Peasants! What do they know?” But they wouldn’t be going so hard after Donald Trump’s scalp if they didn’t think he could win back the White House–and then, boys ‘n’ girls, the fun’s over. Then comes payback time.

We will never accept their agenda. The more we see of it, the more we loathe it. We will not let them impose it on us.

Why did the Gauls not stay after they had sacked Rome in the 4th century BC? - Quora

This will be the first time I’ve ever run a post two days in a row. I only do it because, to me, the historical parallel fairly screams to me, “Learn from this, America!”

When the Gauls Burnt Rome

Rome was nearly erased from history when the city was taken and burned by the Gauls. How did it happen? The Romans had forced Camillus, their most capable leader, into exile; ignored reports that the Gauls were coming after them in great strength; refused to suspend their own political bickering; and were found completely unready for the crisis.

The Romans were only rescued because they repented of their folly, put their trust in their religious beliefs–and called back Camillus. He took charge and totally defeated the Gauls. Restored to his place, he then succeeded in defeating a proposal to abandon the shattered city and live elsewhere.

Is it saying too much to say that God had reserved Camillus for this very purpose?

And is it too much to say that President Donald Trump is our Camillus?

We need to put him back in office.

And we need to repent and turn back to God.

Stop doing stupid, evil, self-destructive stuff!

Paul Harvey: ‘If I Were the Devil’

Posted By: leeduigon(patty)Posted On:

Here’s the inspiration for that Trump ad–If I Were the Devil, by Paul Harvey. He aired it on the radio back in 1965, and it’s still on target 58 years later. Oh, if only we’d listened to him! The man had an audience of millions, and his work was brilliant. But we didn’t really listen to him, did we?

Ignoring urgent good advice is one of the things that got us where we are today.

‘If I Was the Deep State…’ (Wow!)

Posted By: leeduigon(patty)Posted On:

I think Donald Trump has learned his lesson: no more Mr. Nice Guy.

Check out this ad that has Democrats levitating from their beds and their heads doing a 360.

This ad was patterned on a classic Paul Harvey radio essay, “If I was the Devil.” That piece, by the way, is still worth hearing. Maybe I’ll track it down and post it.

Has the DEI Bubble Burst?

Oh, boy! It’s 2020! George Floyd! All aboard the bandwagon! And so (you knew they would) hundreds of companies and corporations dove headlong into the Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) boondoggle.

Fun’s over. In the year ending this past December, 33 percent of “DEI officers” and associated hangers-on have lost those jobs created for them in a stampede (https://abcnews.go.com/US/corporate-america-slashing-dei-workers-amid-backlash-diversity/story?id=100477952#:~:text=One%20in%20three%20DEI%20professionals,lower%20attrition%20rate%20of%2021%25.). True, the Biden economy is a mess: 21 percent of everybody who’s not  a DEI officer lost their jobs, too.

In 2019-2022, DEI hires increased 169 percent.

Then companies discovered that these new employees produced nothing of value to the employer. Oh, they blame “the conservative backlash” for it, too; but the fact is, a DEI officer is good for nothing. The salary’s a sheer waste of money.

And so one out of three of ’em got sent packing in 2022.

It’s likely (we hope) to be more. Florida and Texas are acting to abolish “identity-based” hiring and promotion. Other states will follow.

If we don’t take back America from the Far Left Crazy who have hijacked it, posterity, if there is any, will call us cowards.
